Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Yeah. . . BEWARE THE PADDLES! hehe. . . sorry, hyper tonight.

Authoress's Note: Ok. I'm hyper tonight, and am having a slight paddle fettish. Call it loneliness-induced insanity. And ignore the fact that I've got a person that lives IN my head (Suna is my demon personality), and another that lives ON it (Itsun likes to sleep on my head). They don't always count as people.

Full Summary

How do you get Kagome in hysterics so much that Inuyasha doesn't even bother getting up after being sat? How much does it take to make Sango so mad even Miroku won't mess with her? How could you EVER convince Sesshoumaru to help them in their plight? Simple. You kidnap Shippo and Rin . . . But will they get him back before Naraku's intentions are made clear? And even better, how do I fit romance fit in? (Kag/Inu & Shippo/Rin pairings, in dedication to a friend, on the Kag/Inu part)

Naraku looked at the river in curiosity. He couldn't really believe his eyes. The kitsune kit was in the river, practically unprotected, playing with a ningen girl. It didn't seem that they'd be that stupid, but they were. So, in one graceful movement, he jumped onto the shore and grabbed the boy, moving to cover his mouth, but a cry escaped the quickly enclosing fingers. Naraku's other arm snapped out, wrapping the girl in his embrace as well. The more hostages, the bigger the ransom. So he made off with the two children, Shippo and Rin, and the story begins. . .

Inuyasha glared at those assesmbled around the fire. Jaken, huddling up next to the fire, had also earned the glare of Sango, he WAS the one that was supposed to be protecting the two. Or really, Rin, but she'd been taken as well, so he was glared at.

Sesshoumaru leaned standing against a tree on the opposite side of the clearing from his hanyou brother Inuyasha. Jaken had also earned his glare and lost a couple hundred years off his life.

Kagome was next to the fire, having hysterics. Sango was comforting her, she knew what it was like to have a loved one taken by Naraku. Eyes turned to her as she just started crying out sit time after time. It was amazing to them. A point came that Inuyasha did not get up for a couple of hours. He'd been knocked unconscious. Miroku stayed far away from Sango, who looked murderous.

Slowly the sun rose and, in unspoken agreement, all of them rose to go recover the children. All except Jaken that is. He was left to guard the stuff.

Darkness: -says nothing-

Kit: FINALLY! -starts to celebrate-

Suna: -jumps out from behind- Hey, guess what I found Kit?

Itsun: -grins from the shadows- You're going to LOVE this. . .

Kit: -backs away from her demon side and muse- What did you find?

Suna and Itsun: Your discarded paddle.

Kit: -wide eyed- Oh. Ja Ne. -disappears fromthe sight ofthe two angry fox demons-
